Paradise Update #19

Hello Everyone!

Tis the season! This time last year were prepping to begin the Kickstarter phase, it was very scary. This year we vow to not procrastinate holiday shopping.....hopefully.

We have added another team member to our staff! Please welcome Nicolas Araujo to the team as our newest BG artist who will be working alongside Max and Amanda!

Anyway, this update we filmed a video segment for your viewing pleasure! Please check it out below. It provides an update on where we at in animation and a spotlight on one of our team members!

Additionally, here's a little peek of how the world of reality is fleshing out to be in Paradise!

Hello Everyone!

We are back to a steady production schedule! Meanwhile, we're continually adding additional talent to the team.

Hello Everyone!

It's now October, I sincerely apologize for the delays. We had some unfortunate setbacks in production but we are getting back on track. We are animating scene 2! Here's a rundown of what's going on for Paradise! We have moved Fabian, one of our Storyboards onto the animation team as well. He's a fantastic asset who will really capture action oriented scenes! Concept art for scene 4 is completed and storyboards for the scene are a week away from completion. If you are on Reddit and backed us during the Kickstarter phase please be sure to check out some of the behind-the-scenes snippets.

Here is a look at Fabian's previous work!

After all it's thank to you all we were able to fund this project! Anyway, please stay tuned for additional updates and I apologize for the delay for this one!

I feel like I'm using too many exclamation points. Oh well, I'm excited.

Paradise Update #6

Yo everyone!

This is a short but an eventful update! We are now transitioning into the storyboard phase and I'd like to welcome Lakshmi Jk to the Paradise team! We've gone through tons of applicants for the position who were all extremely talented, and we have selected Lakshmi out of all of those applicants. We're excited to have her talent on the production crew!

I'd also like to announce the Character Design for Marcus! Our main character!

Paradise Update #4

Yo!

A lot of progress is being made on the Paradise film! We're now transitioning to the storyboard process and just about to wrap up the recruitment for the position. We've got tons of talented storyboard artists applying for the position and it's going to be tough for us to choose the individual to go with.

We also have a post-Thanksgiving treat for everyone! Joanna! Her character design has been completed by the skilled Jiayue Wu, our Character Designer for the project. Enjoy!

Joanna

The next update will be welcoming our new storyboard artist and the next character in the film!

Paradise Update #3

Hello hello hello! I’m very excited (and amped on caffeine) to provide this update! We have been hard at working finding the right character designer as well as completing the short story-to-script conversion.

I would like to announce that Jiayue Wu has joined the staff as the Key Character Designer! After a lot of deliberation (and skype calls) we determined Jiayue’s beautiful art style and skills were perfect for Paradise. Jiayue’s coloring style exemplifies the dreamy state of bliss that the VR encompasses. We’re eager to see how she also shows the grim palate of reality! Located in New Zealand, we continue to grow the production staff of this project around the world!

Jiayue is an 18 year old student living in New Zealand. Here’s some of her works!

We can’t wait for our next update, as it will have the character designs! We’re extremely happy to have Jiayue on the team and thankful for her helping us bring these characters to life. Make sure to follow her on her social media to see her other works (Instagram, DeviantArt, Artstation, Tumblr)! And as always, if you would like to bring your skills to Coalition Animation Studios, drop us an email!

PS. Send coffee/tea.
